Membership

The Y is committed to providing a safe, caring, healthy, and respectful environment for all members and guests. To promote safety and comfort for all, all individuals are asked to act appropriately at all times when in our facility and or participating in our programs.

We expect persons using the Y to act maturely, to behave responsibly, and to respect the rights and dignity of others. The following conduct can lead to suspension or termination of membership:

1. 1. Using or possessing illegal chemicals or alcohol on Y property, in Y vehicles, or at Y-sponsored programs or events.
   2. Carrying or concealing a weapon or any device or object that may be used as a weapon.  Harassment or intimidation by words, gestures, body language, or any type of menacing behavior.
   3. Physical contact with another person in an angry, aggressive, or threatening way.
   4. Verbally abusive behavior, including angry or vulgar language, swearing, name-calling, or shouting.
   5. Sexually explicit conversation or behavior; any sexual contact with another person.
   6. Inappropriate, immodest, or sexually revealing attire.
   7. Theft or behavior that results in the destruction or loss of property.
   8. Loitering or smoking within or on the grounds of the Y.

Members and guests are encouraged to take responsibility for their personal comfort and safety by asking any person whose behavior threatens their comfort to refrain from such behavior.  Anyone who feels uncomfortable in confronting a person directly should report the behavior to a staff person or the building supervisor on duty.

YMCA Southcoast reserves the right to deny access or membership to any person who has been accused or convicted of any crime involving sexual abuse, is or has been a registered sex offender, has ever been convicted of any offense relating to the use sale, possession, or transportation of narcotics or habit-forming and/or dangerous drugs, or is presently or habitually under the influence of dangerous drugs or chemicals, narcotics or intoxicating beverages.
